At Saint Louis University's Richard A. Chaifetz School of Business, we weave together three important elements — values, leadership and action — to create
a unique and stimulating environment as the foundation for success.

In addition to our highly ranked business programs, we focus on career planning, internships
and opportunities to help our students connect with professionals in each of our areas
of study. Located in the heart of St. Louis, Missouri, a large metropolitan area where
we are well connected and respected in the business community, we encourage, welcome
and enjoy visits from our friends, supporters, and alumni. Please feel free to stop
by and enjoy our beautiful campus and facilities.

Our Departments

Our Mission

We are committed to creating an entrepreneurial culture that encourages in our students,
faculty and staff a passion for excellence in everything we do.

We will provide a business education that emphasizes a global perspective grounded
in theory, critical thinking, and ethical leadership, and which supports the application
of these concepts through experiential and service learning.

We encourage our faculty to engage in leading-edge research initiatives that have
an impact on theory and society and are dedicated to developing partnerships to solve
these challenges.
